It is like that already, but try, if you can, to imagine how bad it will get if the incentive isn't fake internet points, but actual money.
Bot farms.
You mean bigger bot farms. The VAST MAJORITY of reddit posters are bots and serial reposters.
Maybe if you're on the main subs. I'd say to get rid of those, but it's best to get rid of all of reddit at this point lol.
Cheers to that!
I mean I dunno if you consider /r/swimming and /r/climbing and /r/triathlon are major subs but they have massive repost bot problems. Those are juts some of the smaller subs I miss the most from reddit.
No no, let Reddit stay and let it remain popular and profitable enough that people who want to run bots for easy money all stay there.
